A View on Relationship Addiction
Addiction of any kind is a sad thing to suffer from. I’ve been there. I know what it’s like. One of the worst kinds has to be when you’re totally wrapped up in a particular relationship that you can’t let go. You may feel that you’re meant to be with a particular person and they, hopefully, feel the same way about you. The trouble arises when one person doesn’t share the same feeling and wants to move on. That’s when the signs of relationship addiction begin to surface.

The Fine Art of Photo Dating
Does anyone really look at profiles when they’re looking to find a date online? I know I do, but the emails I get in my inbox seem to show that a lot people don’t. These emails ask questions that would have already been answered had they bothered to read the profile. It’s a small sign that people like picture-driven personal ads. It is through mastering the fine art of photo dating that singles really begin to reap the benefits of online dating.

Single Will Rock
I'm single for the holidays for the first time in a couple of years. I don't mind so much. I've always dated individuals with bah, humbug attitudes anyway so I've grown jaded over the meaning of it all. I was brought up to believe in the religious reason for the season, as an adult with secular views Christmas seems artificial sometimes.

Are You Suffering From Relationship Issues?
Do you have relationship issues? If you’re surfing the dating sites featured on Cupids Reviews, or are dating someone who is, I think it’s safe to say that you do. In fact, I think that if we looked at society as a whole, we’d find that a staggering portion of the public suffers from ailments in the area of love. I say part of the reason is that we learn to settle for love too early.

Easy to Trace Players Lose Face
My friend that's no longer single met her boyfriend online. She did of course go on several dates that didn't pan out. I would agree with her that sometimes spending a lot of time online chatting doesn't always clear up what you're going to be encountering face-to-face. Nevertheless, I bring her up as an example for a different reason, mainly online investigations.

My Wife In Bed
I had a dream last night that was so vivid, I woke and reached over to turn on the light. I half expected my wife to be lying there beside me. She wasn’t, of course, seeing as I’m single and have never been married. Still, the dream itself was so real. I had to get out of bed to get a hold of my mind and the many thoughts that were racing through it. I could have sworn I was just in bed with the love of my life—and she was more wonderful than my heart could handle.

My Own Love Test
It’s great that we rate dating sites. Every day, I get to spend my time thinking about love and relationships. It’s given me a lot of time to mull over what’s right for me when it comes to my life. I’ve dated a lot over the years and I think I’m starting to get a real feel for the type of person I’m looking for. I put every person I see through a love test that has been designed by me, for me. It’s nothing that’s structured or written down on paper. It’s just something that happens automatically every time I venture out on a date. This is how the test goes...

Dating and The Single Rose
Is there anything more romantic than a date that carries a lone rose? It is an iconic image that we’ve seen many times yet it never seems to loose its appeal. We’re in the business of knowing a thing or two about dating here at Cupids Reviews and it seems only fitting that we address what is one of the most significant signs of love: the single rose.

Hope Lives Vicariously
Have you ever noticed how people change when they get into a relationship? You know the friends who never call you once they have a boyfriend or a girlfriend for instance. I'm one of those folks so now that one of my best friends has moved in with someone and never calls anymore, I can't complain since I've done the same thing many times over. There's one major difference, though: my relationships normally only last a few months. This one my friend has found might just be the one.

Dating for Adult Singles
If there’s something we here at Cupids Reviews know about, it’s dating sites where single adults can look for love. There are so many out there that it makes having a competent guide almost necessary. Sure, you can look at the big names like Match and True, but there’s so much to know about each one. For example, you could spend your time setting up a profile and searching on Match but you will never be able to send or receive correspondence unless you pay for a membership. This is different than many other sites, such as Cupid.com (no, there’s no affiliation between us and them), which allow even those who are just browsing to be contacted by paid members. True.com also won’t allow contact between paid members, nor will it let you see when a member last logged in—at least not before you’ve paid. That makes it hard for adult singles to tell how busy the site is—a rather important point to consider when it comes to picking which dating sites you’re going to join.

Online Dating Pictures
I’ve said it too many times to count: webcam pics alone aren’t good enough for your dating profile picture. Assuming you’re not trying to hide something, grainy shots only serve to cast doubt on your true appearance. They’re fine if you’re using them as supporting documentation, but the rest of society expects you to have great-quality shots. The technology is readily available so there’s no excuse not to use it.

Confident Dating: How It Came to Pass
It wasn’t long ago that I was turning down kisses from dates because I lacked confidence in that most romantic of gestures. Well, at least 18 years doesn’t seem like that long ago… but perhaps it is! Back then, communication with the opposite sex, when any interest in love was involved, was an often grueling spectacle. Words didn’t flow from my lips in any orderly fashion and my tongue was tied on more than a few occasions, leading to disastrous results. I was the dating equivalent to a bull in a china shop. Whatever the case, there has always been something that’s fascinated me: how is it that you learn to date with confidence?
